Elves Live In The Land      
      Beyond  The Great Dam.      
  It Was  Built  In The Late Sixties.   
     The Elves Came To Us Then.     
                      
                      
 They  Were  Very  Manipulative,  And  We 
 Came  To Trust Them.          Us 
 Kids  Would Play Down  At The Water Even 
 Though We Were  Not Allowed.       
     Sometimes  The  Sluice Would Close 
 Entirely,  And The  River  At  The  Dams 
 Foot Would Dry  Up, Revealing  The Rocky 
 Water   Garden  That   Had  Been  Hidden 
 Beneath, And We Would Go There.      
        Before The Dam  Opened Again, 
 There Would Be  A  Signal, But The Elves 
 Would Make Us Not Hear It,  And Suddenly 
 We Would Find The Water Rising,  Already 
 At Our Knees.                
                      
   By Then The  Elves Would  Be  Gone.
